Description David REVOY 2016-05-04 10:05:03 UTC 
Hi, I'm enjoying a lot to use Kdenlive for my Youtube channel since 5 years ( https://www.youtube.com/user/DeevadRevoy/videos ). Today, I was doing a little review on how I could be faster in my production time, because videos are popular and I spend a lot of time on drawing my webcomic ( http://www.peppercarrot.com/ ).

Why Krita files:
============
Most of my titles background are images, done with Krita. I need to save a *.kra version of them, to tweak layers and keep flexibility in case I want to redo/fix them. So, I'm used to store two files: the *.kra source, and I export a transitional *.png (each time) to communicate with Kdenlive. Not a big deal, but it could be faster if Kdenlive could directly read the *.kra file, and add *.kra files as image clip ( as with a *.jpg, *.png...*.etc... ).

About Krita files:
=============
Maybe this could little info could help in case the idea sound good:
* Krita files are zip archive
* Inside the *.kra (zip) , exist at root of the archive a ' mergedimage.png ' , this picture is what Kdenlive could read directly. It's a flat version of the files, PNG. It would be perfect !

Thank you for reading this [wishlist] item.

Jean, is this ticket resolved?
Comment 4 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2016-05-12 13:09:42 UTC 
Yes, this is fixed but requires MLT's latest git version to work. 
We use Krita's QImage plugin to load the images.
